299 However, when called from a different thread there is usually no
300 NSAutoreleasePool in place because wxThread has no knowledge of
301 wxCocoa. The pool here is generally only ever going to contain
302 the NSEvent we create with the factory method. As soon as we add
303 it to the main event queue with postEvent:atStart: it is retained
304 and so safe for our pool to release.

317 callers only need wx idle to happen, or more specifically only really
318 need to ensure that ProcessPendingEvents is called which is currently
319 done without exiting the runloop.

341 Invoked from the applicationWillUpdate notification observer. See the
342 NSApplication documentation for the official statement on when this
343 will be called. Since it can be hard to understand for a Cocoa newbie
344 I'll try to explain it here as it relates to wxCocoa.
346 Basically, we get called from within nextEventMatchingMask if and only
347 if any user code told the application to send the update notification
348 (sort of like a request for idle events). However, unlike wx idle events,
349 this notification is sent quite often, nearly every time through the loop
350 because nearly every control tells the application to send it.
352 Because wx idle events are only supposed to be sent when the event loop
353 is about to block we instead schedule a function to be called just
354 before the run loop waits and send the idle events from there.
356 It also has the desirable effect of only sending the wx idle events when
357 the event loop is actualy going to block. If the event loop is being
358 pumped manualy (e.g. like a PeekMessage) then the kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting
359 observer never fires. Our Yield() method depends on this because sending
360 idle events from within Yield would be bad.
362 Normally you might think that we could just set the observer up once and
363 leave it attached. However, this is problematic because our run loop
364 observer calls user code (the idle handlers) which can actually display
365 modal dialogs. Displaying a modal dialog causes reentry of the event
366 loop, usually in a different run loop mode than the main loop (e.g. in
367 modal-dialog mode instead of default mode). Because we only register the
368 observer with the run loop mode at the time of this call, it won't be
369 called from a modal loop.
371 We want it to be called and thus we need a new observer.

430 Called by CFRunLoop just before waiting. This is the appropriate time to
431 send idle events. Unlike other ports, we don't peek the queue for events
432 and stop idling if there is one. Instead, if the user requests more idle
433 events we tell Cocoa to send us an applicationWillUpdate notification
434 which will cause our observer of that notification to tell CFRunLoop to
435 call us before waiting which will cause us to be fired again but only
436 after exhausting the event queue.
438 The reason we do it this way is that peeking for an event causes CFRunLoop
439 to reenter and fire off its timers, observers, and sources which we're
440 better off avoiding. Doing it this way, we basically let CFRunLoop do the
441 work of peeking for the next event which is much nicer.

465 /* A note about Cocoa's event loops vs. run loops:
467 It's important to understand that Cocoa has a two-level event loop. The
468 outer level is run by NSApplication and can only ever happen on the main
469 thread. The nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue: method returns
470 the next event which is then given to sendEvent: to send it. These
471 methods are defined in NSApplication and are thus part of AppKit.
473 Events (NSEvent) are only sent due to actual user actions like clicking
474 the mouse or moving the mouse or pressing a key and so on. There are no
475 paint events; there are no timer events; there are no socket events; there
478 All of those types of "events" have nothing to do with the GUI at all.
479 That is why Cocoa's AppKit doesn't implement them. Instead, they are
480 implemented in Foundation's NSRunLoop which on OS X uses CFRunLoop
481 to do the actual work.
483 How NSApplication uses NSRunLoop is rather interesting. Basically, it
484 interacts with NSRunLoop only from within the nextEventMatchingMask
485 method. It passes its inMode: argument almost directly to NSRunLoop
486 and thus CFRunLoop. The run loop then runs (e.g. loops) until it
487 is told to exit. The run loop calls the callout functions directly.
488 From within those callout functions the run loop is considered to
489 be running. Presumably, the AppKit installs a run loop source to
490 receive messages from the window server over the mach port (like a
491 socket). For some messages (e.g. need to paint) the AppKit will
492 call application code like drawRect: without exiting the run loop.
493 For other messages (ones that can be encapsulated in an NSEvent)
494 the AppKit tells the run loop to exit which returns control to
495 the nextEventMatchingMask method which then returns the NSEvent
496 object. It's important to note that once the runloop has exited
497 it is no longer considered running and thus if you ask it which
498 mode it is running in it will return nil.
500 When manually pumping the event loop care should be taken to
501 tell it to run in the correct mode. For instance, if you are
502 using it to run a modal dialog then you want to run it in
503 the modal panel run loop mode. AppKit presumably has sources
504 or timers or observers that specifically don't listen on this
505 mode. Another interesting mode is the connection reply mode.
506 This allows Cocoa to wait for a response from a distributed
507 objects message without firing off user code that may result
508 in a DO call being made thus recursing. So basically, the
509 mode is a way for Cocoa to attempt to avoid run loop recursion
510 but to allow it under certain circumstances.
